DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Series of optical reflectometers Grandway FHO3000 designed to provide the main functions of an optical reflectometer at the lowest possible price. Three models in the FHO3000 series allow classic reflectometric measurements at two wavelengths: 1310 nm and 1550 nm, and three more models operating at a wavelength of 1650 nm can test active fibers.

All models of the FHO3000 series are very compact, contain a color screen with touch control, large built-in memory for 40,000 traces and provide battery life up to 6 hours. The instrument interface is Russified. For a little extra money, you can add a built-in illumination (option VFL) and a built-in power meter (option PM) to the reflectometer.

Russified interface of optical reflectometers Grandway FHO3000

In the menu of the Grandway FHO3000 series reflectometers, you can select the language in which the instrument's user interface will work. The list includes several major languages, including Russian.

Ease of use with Grandway FHO3000 touch reflectometers

A widescreen touch screen is a standard feature of the Grandway FHO3000 series of optical reflectometers. The large screen and touch control significantly speed up the work process, as they allow you to easily change the initial test parameters (range, measurement time and pulse width), comfortably view the measurement results (loss and reflection on each event) and quickly set the names of saved files (including fiber numbers). , measuring direction and other information). The stylus is included with the reflectometer and is placed in its body.

The design of optical reflectometers Grandway FHO3000

Reflectometers Grandway FHO3000 series are made according to the principle: everything you need in a small case and for little money. The photo below shows the connectors of the reflectometer: two USB ports for connecting flash drives, an optical port of the reflectometer for connecting the fiber under test, a Micro USB connector for connecting to a computer, and a power connector.

Overall dimensions of optical reflectometers Grandway of the FHO3000 series are minimum. Most of the front side of the device is occupied by a touch screen. Calling frequently used modes and functions is duplicated using the buttons located to the right of the screen. The weight of the device together with the battery is only 900 grams.

Built-in VFL illumination option and built-in PM optical power meter option

The Grandway FHO3000 Series OTDRs can be ordered with the optional Visual Flaw Detector (VFL, Clearance, Red Light) and Optical Power Meter (PM) options.

Option VFL is a powerful (up to 12 km) visible red laser (wavelength 650 nm), which can be used to visually detect bad splices, fiber macrobends, confused fiber markings and other similar defects. It can work in continuous mode or pulsation mode.

Option PM is an optical power meter calibrated at wavelengths: 850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm, 1625nm, 1650nm. The power measurement range is: -60 dBm to +5 dBm.

The photo below shows the two additional connectors found on OTDRs with the VFL and PM options installed.

Video recording of real measurements of the Grandway FHO3000-D26 model

This 12 minute video shows measurements of a PON network simulator using five different OTDRs, including the entry-level FHO3000 series at 26dB (FHO3000-D26). In this video reflectometer demonstrated from 1:15 to 3:15. It is very useful to see how the FHO3000-D26 behaves during real work: how quickly it removes noise from the trace, whether software processing artifacts appear on the graph, and so on.

Measurement software

The Grandway FHO3000 series reflectometers are supplied as standard with a CD with a PC program and documentation. The program supplied on this disk allows you to process traces on a personal computer. The reflectometer itself saves measurement results in the standard *.sor format, which is widely used and readable by software from other manufacturers of reflectometers. In addition, the results can be saved in *.bmp graphic format.
